Kinnikuman ch.354: “Akuma Shogun’s Maxim!!” Sunshine is mad at Ashura/Ninja/Buffaloman for leaving him behind in the Demon World while having all the fun. He wants to go to the Tower of Babel! wpb.cdn.cloudpublisher.jp/view2.php?p=b4… #Kinnikuman #ch354 
After all, Akuma Shogun made him and Ashura Man the two leaders of the Devil Chojin. Buffaloman wants to go too: during the battle against the Perfect Origins, Akuma Shogun told him to gain power greater than the gods, which is precisely what this current trial is about.
Warsman throws his hat in the ring as well: Robin Mask left him in charge of the Justice Chojin, yet he hasn’t got to do any fighting lately.
Kinnikuman Gold Mask arc, pt.6: I’ll finish this arc one day, I swear. Anyway, the big boss has finally appeared: Akuma Shogun! Also, everyone is still tiny and inside Warsman’s body. #Kinnikuman #GoldMask
The first to feel the Shogun’a wrath is Geronimo, leading to one of the series’ most infamous flubs: as Geronimo gets spun round and round, a second Geronimo is visible in the group reaction shot. Oops. Sadly, this mistake is corrected in later editions.
The parody manga The Chojin-sama by Makochin Ishihara (a cross between Kinnikuman and his earlier series The Sanmei-sama) offers the theory that Geronimo is hit so hard that he has an out-of-body experience, and this explanation is later used in the Chojin Encyclopedia.
Kinnikuman, Gold Mask arc part 1: after defeating the Seven Devil Chojin, it turns out they were just a bunch of underlings working for the Six Devil Knights, who work for Satan himself. The result? Something kinda the same as last arc, but even weirder. #Kinnikuman #GoldMask
The Devil Knights steal the Gold Mask from Kinniku Palace. The Gold/Silver Mask pair were given to the ancestors of the Kinniku Tribe by the gods, and are the source of Justice Chojin Power (somehow). Which means separating the masks robs all the good guys of their strength.
The story of the Gold/Silver Masks is inspired by the fable of the honest woodcutter, with the joke that the Kinniku ancestor only acts honestly by accident. Given all we learn of the two masks later, it’s questionable how much of this tale actually happened anyway
Kinnikuman ch.343, “Sacred Tag!!”: having done his duty, Mammoth Man is content to let his captain Super Phoenix take over from here. The scene switches to Phoenix and Big Body in the Roman Coliseum. wpb.cdn.cloudpublisher.jp/view2.php?p=wx… #Kinnikuman #ch343
(The ring collapses into the Gates of Hell, but we don’t see Mammoth Man’s body burn up, so maybe there’s still hope for him?)
Phoenix and Big Body are in a tag match against a pair of Choshin. The first knocks Big Body around with some karate chops. This god used to get along well with Phoenix’s patron, the God of Intelligence, so he takes a shine to Phoenix too.
